Quick Observation
Beautie of a day up Cathedral, snow conditions seemed good down BTL and TL. In the alpine all surfaces were wind affected with sastrugi all over the glacier. Probed 200-240cm on the glacier. No tracks down the East line but couldn’t see what conditions were like. We skied the north glacier then into the trees down the east ridge. The couloir we ascended was hard snow with small chunks of debris, but the trees we descended had nice faceted powder at the top were great then got very tight but was nice snow.
Weather
Light winds with moderate gusts with a varied direction. Light snow through out the pm and definitely snow transported around.
